Demi
I wish you would return to your previous practice of providing a press release narrative of the results of your polling. I have found it a reliable source but in your present format there isn’t enough information to repost on our ncspin website.
Thanks

I don’t know what this is for but I’ll take any chance i get to tell petiole that I’ve lost sleep, can’t hold any food down and have decided to move my family out of this country if trump is elected. I’m disgusted that none of the rules apply to him. He gets away with slander, lying, bigotry etc etc. I am a 47 yr old married unemployed white woman with 3 grown kids one who served 2 tours in Afghan. 1 decreased, 1 married with kids that are struggling and one that is 7 years old in 2nd grade. My husband’s income if about 48k a year and we barely make it. In disabled but turned down for SSI and medicaid cuz my husband makes to much money??????!!!!!. Our 7yr old has a connective tissue disorder which means his aorta can tear at any time and kill him. Now if this life isn’t hard enuf, the stress of trump being what he wants ( a dictator) no thanks. There’s about 40 of us in NC that will leave and over 100 family members in CA that also will leave and they are Republicans. I vote for the best person bipartisan is the way. Thank you from N Carolina

I hope Trump wins. America is ready for a real change from all of Obama’s policies and Obamacare. I know I sure am! So for those people who say they will leave if Trump gets elected, “don’t let the door hit you on the way out!”

Donald Trump will be an excellent President. He has done a great job handling protesters. We are priveledged to have a man of his caliber running for office. People need to mature and quit being sore losers.

As Governor if I were you I would check out the illegal activities of Charlette as when does one leave a car from the left side if they were the driver as shown in recent videos with the left door open as he was shot. this leaves room for illegal placement of guns by corrupt officiers as police always plant evidence

Donald Trump is using America as his private play ground. He is ignorance and childish to say the least. His vocabulary is limited to a 5th grader at best. He has lived in his private world that revolved only around him. If anyone thinks that a person who changes his mind quicker than the wind is president material then think again. Point two, he can only speak by using the teleprompter so obviously these are not it thoughts or views. Any man that says, “my daughter is hot and if she wasn’t my daughter, I’ll date her”. He never ever never answer a question not ever. Just know Trumpers, any and everything that this crazy person says and do affect “you all” as well as your children, family, etc. Just listen as he speaks, he always begin about his greatness. He is “Sick” and his self-delation will be ugly to watch. Because the real Donald is a person with real issues that was never resolved. He should be in therapy. Fact is he does not like or respect women. I don’t think he never has. He’s the one need a serious background check.

Will the real donald trump stand up…….. one needs to listen to the difference between when he is speaking by teleprompter where his words are created by others against what comes out of his mouth speaking on his own……..always blaming others when things go wrong for him….having to rely on others to always explain what he “really meant”….. he is always going to do this or that without telling us how it will be accomplished……what scares me more than trump his self is having so many Americans not see through this ignorant, cruel man…. do you want you want your children sitting in front of the TV listening to him rant and rave…..it would be a case of having one of the biggest bullies ever influencing our children….you would never let your children have friends such as him……he speaks of having people respect him while he respects no one….. he lashes out without any concern what comes out of his mouth or who is listening….OUR CHILDREN ARE LISTENING……!!!

To Barbara and all the other misinformed, low information people who say they will leave the country if Trump is elected. I hope the door doesn’t hit you in the backside. We can well afford to miss you, you people are not only misinformed but have little or no grasp of what this country will face if lying, crooked Hillary is elected. When you leave, please renounce your citizenship so you can no longer vote.

Bill…….Trump tells us over and over again who he is…..you say we are misinformed?….. When his “people” have to explain over and over again what their candidate means by his own words, that isn’t trump speaking that is what you all want to believe he said……I believe what Trump says……so I believe that makes him “misinformed and a low information person” to quote you…….I can see why he is your candidate….you are a name caller and have no respect for yourself or others who disagree with you…….

It is mind destroying to see DECENT/MODERN women stand behind Hillary Clinton. She “forgave” her husband not because of love, morals, religion or family values, she did it for POLITICAL GAINS!!!. She has lied blatantly to God, the world and to fools that believe in her. She has proven to the blacks, hispanics, inmigrants, and poor people of America that she is ABOVE THE LAW, specially to the GOLD MOTHERS of the soldiers who died in benghazi!!!!!!!. What a shame. I am a soldier’s wife, and a soldier’s mom!!
